Sikazwe take a bow, we have new sheriff in town.

 

Italian officiating for Argentina, Qatari now in a historic first ever medal match for Arabia. I just wonder, will we ever get a Pole or Bulgarian officiating our key match?

 

At any rate, what a wonderful bronze to crown this golden generation. This one will be cherished. 

 

Also - third medal for us. Wow.

Oh, what a heartbreak. I wanted Morocco to win so bad.

 

To make things worse, all that's left is for Argentina to win tomorrow.

Either that's a penalty for Croatia or some epic dive...

Neither, mostly just an unfortunate moment definitely not worth a penalty.

Clear penalty

Hakimi going into the tunnels and trying to intimidate Infantino himself because he didn't get a free kick

It was a bit of a odd minute. First Morocco should have gotten a free kick on the edge of the penalty area and half a minute later there was the situation on the other side. With one nog being penalised, I'm fine with the other not being penalised neither, otherwise it'd have been weirder..

Still there is VAR for the Croatian situation, for the other not. There was no foul before (and even if doesn’t matter). Var should have interfered, but FIFA wanted an Arab country in 3 rd place. The referee was a joke.

Referee can make an error in the moment like any human.

 

But people in the VAR room have like 6 cameras on offer to make a rational decision. And if it doesn't happen, it turns into a clear result manipulation.

[heywoodu 13,825]

It is of course easy to see it as 'they wanted to make us lose'.

 

Spoiler

The referee in the NED - ARG match always favoring Messi was more a matter of being weirdly star-struck or something, than manipulating the match into a certain outcome, even though there are people here who think it was FIFA 'wanting Messi to win'.

 

I wanted Croatia to win and still I was glad it wasn't a penalty
